Stand

Abstract

A stand including a body member and a leg member which may be pivotally moved about an axis and wherein the axis itself may be moved relative to the body member.

What I claim is: 
     
       1. A stand comprising, a centrally disposed body member,   a plurality of leg members, at least one of said leg members having an upright portion one end of which is adapted to engage a base surface and having spaced apart fingers extending at substantially right angles to the upright portion, said spaced apart fingers defining an unobstructed opening therebetween and straddling said body member with a finger on opposed sides of said body member,   means connecting a leg member having the spaced apart fingers to said body member, said means allowing said leg member to be adjusted pivotally about an axis and also allowing said axis to be moved to different positions with respect to said body member while retaining the upright portion of said leg member in an upright position, said axis being parallel to said upright portion of said leg and   means for locking said axis and its associated leg at various positions relative to the body member.   
     
     
       2. A stand as claimed in claim 1 wherein said upright portions have areas which extend above the level of the spaced apart fingers to act as supporting pads, and wherein said fingers are located intermediate the height of said upright portions. 
     
     
       3. A stand as claimed in claim 1 wherein said means connecting a leg member includes an elongated slot in said body member.
